Aircast A60 Ankle Support reviews

I play Tennis and Basketball year around and rely on Ankle Braces to get me through. I used to play in college and my ankles are sort of shot. The A60 is hands down the best brace for court sports I've found. (used to use ASO) They are pretty durable and hold up pretty well considering how much I use them. - Robert K.

They are for my daughter who sprained both ankles last year and she is very pleased with them. She used one of the other types of aircast last year and it also did a great job of protecting her ankles; - Sandra

I've got weak ankles from years of soccer and this is my brace of choice for my soccer practices. - Robert T.

HI, My name is Jorge Clark, and I have been trying to get the Aircast A60 for a few years and I had to buy one of that Excellent I agree with Andy Murray amazingly good. I advice it to anyone if you want to have a good one wear this one.
Right now what I am going to say is for the makers of the A60. Please if you are smart enought try to see that Murray has a lot of fans (me number 1) and he plays the tournaments wearing a white one, people like me would like to buy a lot of them in white so please white don't you make them in white???
if you do it I will be the first one to buy it and recomend it to anyone.
again thanks and I hoe you take my advice.
Jorge Clark. (Andy Murray's number 1 FAN) - CLARK

I have ankle ligament problem. I wear this ankle brace every day to prevent my ankle from turning over, and to ease pain. Without this brace, I couldn't walk alot without being in tremendous pain. - linnie

My podiatrist gave me this brace to wear on my ankle because I was feeling mild daily pain due in part to my pronation. The brace combined with my custom orthotics have helped tremendously! This brace is very easy to get on and off, can fit easily into a shoe, does not compress my foot while walking, and is easy to walk, run, bike or hike in. My only complaint is that I need to replace it after about 5-6 months of (nearly daily) wear because the rigid support pieces on the sides are now sticking out of the worn fabric that once contained them. Not only does it look sloppy, but it can get caught on the laces of my other shoe causing me to trip, which is not safe! - christa

After years of abuse on my ankles from being in the military, I needed ankle surgery to repair a few ligaments. During my waiting time, and after I wore this brace and it very much did what it says it does. My only complaint is after almost a year of daily use it stretched a bit and the mesh began to rip. I will continue to use this brace while running and daily use for as long as they keep making it. - Amanda

This is the only ankle brace my high school daughter will wear. She has worn the A60 for 6 months through club, indoor and now high school soccer. We are on our second A60 due to the the mesh fabric tearing near the top of the brace. No other brace met the criteria for providing protection to the ankle while being easy to put on and fitting nicely in her soccer cleat. We have tried the DONJOY Sports Ankle, AIRCAST Air sport, PROCARE Kallassy, McDavid ultralight ankle brace with straps, McDavid Lightweight brace and the Mueller Soccer Ankle brace. The A60 is not uncomfortable and allows her enough flexibility to play with confidence. - soccerplayer36

My son plays offense and defensive lineman for High School Football. He has rolled his ankle multiple times. His doctor advised him that he needed to wear a brace whenever he plays. We tried several other brands of ankle braces with no luck. The main problem was that they were too bulky and he would still roll his ankle. We finally ordered an Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace and an Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace. He liked the Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace but the Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace fit better in his cleats. He now uses this brace all the time and has had no more ankle injuries. This brace does not interfere with his footwork. It is lightweight and easy to put on. I am ordering a second one because he has worn the first out with hard intense use. I highly recommend this brace for Football players. - B

It provides great support and most importantly gives you a lot of confidence to focus on your game without worrying about rolling your ankles.
The only down side would be that the fabric tend to wear down fairly quickly so it will need periodic replacing, but all in all it is a great product!
- Tennis Crazy

After years of chronic ankle issues playing soccer, the Aircast A60 Ankle Brace seems to be working better than everything I've used in the past (including professional strapping tape by a physio). Highly Recommend this product. - Johnny

I have had ankle problems for years and wear different types of braces, and none compare to the comfort and support that aircast give. - Jorge

GP

I'm paralyzed in my ankle, so I have no ability to prevent ankle rolling. This brace provides enough support that I can even go hiking. It is easy to use, gives good support and is durable. It is the easiest to fit into a normal shoe. I would like to see a version with greater stiffness as an option, and a little more durability in the mesh, but this is my go-to brace to wear every day. - GP

The Flash

Due to a gunshot wound, I eventually lost my ankle. Years of crutches and fixators regrew the bones, but the ankle wore off. It is amputation or wear an Aircast A60 and MBT shoes. The sole rolls leaving the ankle fixed under the brace. My orthopedists all concur. Six years and counting and I still have the leg. They wear well, can be washed, and are relatively inexpensive. - The Flash

JDO

I'm an avid tennis player and was nervous about getting back onto the tennis court after fracturing my ankle. The Aircast A60 fits comfortably in my sneaker and gives me the support I need. At first I was fearful about turning my ankle, and was holding back to go full out for the ball...but in this brace I couldn't turn my ankle if I tried. I'm so happy I purchased this ankle support, and am back to moving around the court the way I did before my injury. - JDO

Questions on Aircast A60 Ankle Support

Sort by

From Alison at 3/19/2010 3:27 PM

This brace looks like it's made up of fabric...how does it provide support? Is it better support than if I taped my ankle?

The Aircast A60 is made of a fabric called Breath-O-Prene which is designed to keep your foot cool and dry. It provides support with the help of a stabilizer located on either side of the ankle (the gray strap in the photo), it is molded at a 60 degree angle to help protect against ankle sprains and rollovers.

From SG at 3/25/2010 6:59 AM

Is it light weight and can it be worn in any shoe without causing bulk? also I have found that shoe size is hard to find a fit by due to having larger calves, so If I wear a 7.5 womens shoe what size would you recommend.

The Aircast A60 is light weight and can be worn in most shoes without an issue. As with all ankle braces there is some bulk added that will require you to loosen the the shoe laces a bit. That is something you'd have to with almost any fairly supportive ankle brace like the A60. For your size shoe you would need a Small. You can see the size chart in the size chart tab on this page.

From Tennis Ankle Brace at 3/27/2010 1:27 PM

Based on what I read, I have a grade 1 ankle sprain from an inversion that happened around Thanksgiving 2009. I use a Mueller brace (no plastic, just the lace-up with cross-straps) now. I’m still having some issues and wonder if one of these aircast A60’s or the airsport might be better. The sport is tennis. Trying to take it easy but the ankle is just not completely back.

What is your recommendation of a brace for tennis? It seems like what causes the pain is more of a twisting motion to the left off my right foot.

The Aircast A60 is an excellent Ankle Brace for Tennis and other court sports. In fact, Tennis Pro Andy Murray wears the Aircast A60 Ankle Brace. It fits into a tennis shoe nicely and will give you the stability and protection you need. The support system is far stronger than what you have with the you lace up Mueller Ankle Brace.

From Elena Pearson at 4/2/2010 8:37 AM

I wear a size 5 women's shoe. Will the Aircast A60 fit or will it be too large to provide the necessary support?

Thanks

The Aircast A60 Ankle Support Sized Small will accommodate up to 8.5 Womens shoe size.

If the Aircast A60 is feeling loose, you can tighten the brace as needed.

From david at 4/13/2010 11:10 AM

my shoe size is 11.5-12 which means i'm in between a medium and large on the ankle brace. which size should i purchase? thank you.

We recommend going to the next size up if you are between sizes.

From Tony at 4/25/2010 8:01 PM

I have injured my right ankle numerous times hiking due to my weak ankle rolling out and causing injury. Will the Aircast A60 Ankle Support give me the needed support while hiking on the trails irregular surfaces?

The Aircast A60 Ankle Support is a great brace to wear while hiking. The 60degree molded supports help provide ligament support and help prevent ankle rollovers while active. Its light breathable fabric and low profile design fits easily and comfortably inside any athletic shoe.

From Steve D. at 5/19/2010 8:16 AM

I surf 4-5 times a week and would like to know if this brace is ok to use in the ocean?

The Aircast A60 Ankle Support can be worn in the water. To maintain the life of the brace rinse with fresh water and air dry after use in salt/chlorinated water.

From Denise Sandford at 5/22/2010 7:49 AM

I am wandering if I have to wear my usual running shoes or I have to purchase a bigger size shoe while wearing the Aircast A60 Ankle Brace. Please let me know . thank you.

The Aircast A60 Ankle Support fits easily in most athletic shoes. You should not need to purchase a bigger shoe to accommodate the brace.

From Andy at 6/9/2010 7:19 PM

On the actual aircast website they have sizing listed 2 ways. One is via shoe size (which is on this site) the other is via ankle circumference with the following chart:

How does one measure ankle circumference (where exactly do you take the measurement?) I'm going to assume circumference of ankle will be more important than shoe size. Thank you.

To take the ankle circumference measure from the base of the heel around the center of the ankle bone.

From BF at 6/10/2010 11:07 AM

What are the side stabilizers made of on the Aircast A60 Ankle Brace?

I'm recovering from a serious sprain and (optimistically) hoping to go hiking in three weeks. I have excellent boots but obviously need something to support and protect the ankle on the trail.

The supports on the Aircast A60 are made up of a rigid yet flexible plastic material that is molded to a 60 degree angle. This ankle brace is ideal for wearing with your hiking boots. It will give you the support and stability while walking on the uneven terrain.

From Andres Ramirez at 6/30/2010 8:30 PM

I play soccer, is the Aircast A60 recommended for soccer use? Will it interfere with my shin guards? I want something low profile. Are these the best support for both my ankles during play? Thanks.

Yes, The Aircast A60 Ankle Support is great for soccer. The low profile design will not interfere with your gear and the molded 60deg support will protect your ankle from injury.

From L&J at 7/1/2010 11:10 AM

Visually this item looks significantly lees bulky than the Airsport Ankle Brace. Is that the case?

Yes, the A60 is made up of a thin breathable material and has a 60deg molded plate that contours to the leg for less bulk and protects the ankle from rolling, and preventing injury.

From Karen at 7/7/2010 8:57 AM

I don't like ankle braces that i have to fight to put on. Am i going to have to shove my foot in these braces? I currently have a brace that is loose and easily slips over foot and I tighten it with velcro.

The Aircast A60 is very easy to apply and has an open design to easily accommodate your foot.

From Federico at 11/25/2010 5:09 AM

Dear Sir

I injured my right ankle (pain was on the upper-right side) playing soccer about 6 moths ago. I´m now 80% recoverd and I know I´ll have to use an ankle brace from now on.
I practice tennis, soccer and jogging very frequently.
What would you recommend: the Aircast A60 or the Aircast Airsport??

Thanks for your prompt answer.
Regards,

Federico

We'd recommend the Aircast A60.

From SRO at 12/5/2010 10:30 AM

Are the side supports for the A60 brace as rigid as for the Airsport brace?

The A60 stays are more flexible than the airsport, as the A60 is designed to be used without a preexisting injury.

From Nancy at 12/21/2010 2:37 PM

I am an obese female with larger than average ankle and calf and am prone to at least moderate swelling on a daily basis. I am three months post severe ankle sprain ( and tibial plateau fracture). The air splint my orthopod gave me is molded for ankle curves I don't have and cuts into my foot and ankle, adding to my pain. I've just started full weight bearing and find I am still in need of moderate support. This brace is advertised as preventative. But, will it serve as support for a recovering sprain as well? Also, will it stretch to comfortably fit a larger ankle and lower leg?

The A60 is intended for prophylactic or light support. It would not be appropriate for your stage of healing.
More appropriate braces include the Air-Stirrup Universe, Velocity, or RocketSoc ankle braces.

From Jeremy at 2/28/2011 5:21 PM

I'm an ultra runner and am looking for a good right side ankle support....will the A60 suffice for long distance running? im a size 11.5-12 running shoe, what size would you recommend?

The A60 ankle support will be a good choice for lateral ankle support during running. With your size of foot, I would suggest getting the large size.

From Hawk at 3/3/2011 6:32 AM

Does the a60 ankle brace allow normal movement? I want to stabilize my ankles, but i need a brace that allows full jumping and running movement. Im going to play and practice basketball in this brace.

Hi Hawk,
The Aircast A60 Ankle Support allows normal Dorsi-Flexion and Plantar-Flexion at the ankle. It only limits ankle Inversion and Eversion to reduce the risk of injury. It wil not hinder your jumping.

Thanks

From Janet at 3/8/2011 7:29 AM

Over the past several years, I have a problem with my left ankle rolling to the outside. The last two occasions of this happening have caused me to fall to the ground in public places. I am now very concerned that this will be a reoccurring and embarrassing problem for me. What type of ankle support would you recommend to give me the confidence that my ankle will not roll? Also, I need a support that fits in an 8 shoe size and will be comfortable for me to wear on a daily basis. I'm am a avid hiker and also work in my garden, so I would like something I can depend upon for support.

Thank you for the information.

Janet

Janet, thank you for taking the time to email us here at www.betterbraces.com regarding your Ankle Injury and getting the best Ankle Brace for your condition. Our Donjoy Velocity Ankle Brace is the best on the market for joint stability and will assist you in keeping your ankle from rolling in and out while walking.

From matt at 3/22/2011 10:02 AM

I wear donjoy ankle braces right now for basketball and they are a little bulky but what I like is that they do not allow any inversion or eversion or the ankle at all. The A60 looks lots less bulky but how does it compare to the rigidness of the donjoy for eversion and inversion.

The Aircast A60 Ankle Support will only provide support on the lateral aspect of the ankle. The following are a couple of options that maybe less bulky than what you have, but still provide you medial and lateral support.
Aircast AirSport, DonJoy Stabilizing ankle, DonJoy Rocketsoc

From Leslie at 5/9/2011 7:46 AM

Do you know how the A60 works for golfers? I recently had a stress fracture and would like to know if this product will help. Thanks.

The A60 is going to give you support on the outside of your ankle to help keep it from rolling. It will give you some support as you walk around the golf course, depending how far out you are from your fracture, you may need to do something a little stronger. If you are just recently out you could look at the Air stirrup Ankle brace for a little more support. If you are further along, the A60 will work just fine.

From Holly at 5/9/2011 4:32 PM

My daughter is recovering from an ankle injury (hematoma and scar tissue). She wants to provide a little more support for her soccer practices? Will this fit in soccer cleats and is the range of motion compromised?

The A60 will fit into a soccer cleat and still allow her full range of motion. It gives added support on the outside of the ankle, to help prevent it from rolling.

From Daniele Ferrarini at 5/23/2011 8:06 AM

goodmorning, i'm interested about an ankle brace.
i've sprained my ankle 4 months ago , and now i notice that i have some instability, i do a lot of sport ( running, skateboarding,snowboarding,gym ecc) i need a brace that prevent me from another sprain.
i can't decide between aircast a60 and airsport, i prefer the a60 because it's less bulky, but i'm worried that it can't support my ankle as well as the airsport do ( because the talo-fibular reinforcement)

which one is best for me?

thanks, regards

Hey Daniele,
If you're looking for something in between the A60 and the AirSport then I recommend the Donjoy Stabilizing Ankle. It will be cloth material with laces and figure 8 strapping so it is not as bulky as the Airsport, yet still stronger and more supportive than the A60. I hope this helps.

Thanks

From Inferno at 7/5/2011 3:45 PM

I play beach volleyball and am looking for a brace that I can wear like my rigid indoor braces. Will this brace work in the sand meaning without the shoe?

Ideally, this brace should be worn with shoes however; you "could" wear them without shoes and still get some support while playing beach volleyball.

From Jaz at 10/12/2011 5:45 PM

Hello.

I suffered a Weber C fracture just over 2 months ago playing Rugby when I slipped and fell awkwardly, dislocating my foot. It was a complete fracture of the fibula about 3 inches or so above the ankle, this required a plate. I also damaged the deltoid ligament which required cleanup surgery and the syndesmosis ligaments which required a fixation screw through the bones.

I wish to resume sprinting and Non-Contact Rugby soon after my syndesmosis screw is removed. Would this brace be sufficient in preventing re injury to the ligaments? The scarring/plate in my leg extends to about 6-7 inches from the floor, would this brace cover it to reduce the pain if I was to get direct contact to that area? If not, which brace should I look at? The brace must fit in a football/soccer boot comfortably.

Thank you

The best product for your condition is the Donjoy Velocity ES brace. Should you have any other questions please let us know.

From Debbie at 11/9/2011 7:16 AM

Do you recommend the A60 Brace for volleyball?

The A60 would be a good brace for them if they are only having lateral issues. If they need support on the medial side as well, then I would suggest looking at the Airsport.

From Caitlin at 12/18/2011 4:50 PM

I'm having problems deciding between the A60 and the Air Sport. I've ruptured two of the three major ligaments in my left ankle. I have major instability problems; my ankle constantly inverts. I'm trying to avoid surgery through physical therapy but I'm finding I need a brace for daily wear. My doctor doesn't want me to wear my Don Joy Velocity as an everyday brace because he wants my muscles to strengthen and work harder to imitate the stability actions of the ligaments I lost. I also have an Air Cast but that still allows my ankle to roll and doesn't provide as much stability as I would like. I'm leaning more towards the A60 because it's less bulky, but I would like a second opinion.

Thank you

Hi Caitlin,

The A60 will provide moderate support. I also reccommend the DonJoy Stabilizing ankle. It is more supportive than the A60, but not as much as the Velocity.

If you have additional questions, please call 1-800-553-6019.

Have a nice day.

From George at 1/4/2012 5:09 PM

I have an ankle sprain from volleyball. I've been using the Airsport ankle brace for the last 7 years and it's wearing down, so it's time for a new brace. Do you recommend I get the same one (AirSport) or try the A60?

Airsport Ankle Brace is recommended for athletes who've had an injury not the A60.

From Kevin at 1/5/2012 6:36 AM

I consider my ankles to be weak(er) due to several sprains and strains through the years from various exercising, running, sports, etc. I always "think" about them while running and if I do any warmup stretching, I always focus on my ankles. To say they are an issue would be an understatement. Either way, I recently rolled my right ankle outwards while trail running and am back to the drawing board for running support. I own Active Ankles T2 braces (from past volleyball days), but they don't seem adequate or feasible to run in. What brace would you recommend for me? I am concerned about rubbing during my longer trail runs but really do need the support. My running shoe sizes are between 10-11, while street shoes are about 9.5-10.

Is this brace suitable to wear without shoes? I would like to use it for kitesurfing, in fresh water mostly. Do you think it will provide more support than the 1 piece neoprene support I currently have.

Yes, it can be worn w/o shoes. It will also provide more support than a neoprene sleeve.

.

From Austin at 4/2/2012 4:57 PM

I play Ultimate Frisbee and the cuts and running a have to do is pretty brutal on the ankles. Does the brace interfere with running and speed? The design looks great but will it limit my vertical and speed?

Hi Austin,

The A60 is a low profile ankle support and will provide mild-moderate ankle stability without limiting your vertical or speed.

Have a nice day.

From Kimberly Iacoviello at 4/3/2012 4:18 AM

For sizing, if your shoe size is 8.5 is it better to go to a medium or stay with a small?

Medium should be fine.

From SJ at 9/8/2012 2:28 AM

Do you have this in white? Thank you.

Hi

The A60 only comes in white in Europe.

Have a great day.

From Ms. Billie M. Spaight at 10/2/2012 4:26 PM

Should I purchase sneakers before or AFTER getting the brace?

After is a better option. You will be able to try your shoes on while wearing the ankle brace.

From Ben at 11/4/2012 5:32 PM

I have now rolled both my ankles playing intense tennis (not enough to cause me to stop playing) but I am concerned that I will continue to roll my ankles or have a serious sprain. Not having a significant sprain thus far, is the Aircast A60 the best option?

The A60 is a lightweight sleeve with a plastic stay on the outside of the ankle, helping keep the ankle stable and to deter against rolling over the outside of your foot. This brace ios recommended for those with mild ankle instability.

From Ryan at 1/12/2013 4:42 PM

Will this brace help stop foot moving up and down as I have nerve damage or is there a brace that can be worn with a shoe that will stop foot/ankle movement

Hello, Ryan -

It sounds as though you may be suffering from "drop foot", in which the foot involuntarily drops down. This brace is not designed to restrict the up/down motion of the foot. It was designed to support the medial and lateral anatomy. We do not carry any active braces that prevent "drop foot". We have an immobilizing brace that can be worn to prevent called the Procare Superlite A.F.O.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

From Reece at 2/16/2013 1:28 PM

Will this hold up in teh saltwater for surfing. I have a loose ankle that cracks a lot?

Hello, Reece -

Yes, this brace can hold up in saltwater for surfing. We just advice that after you use it in the water that you rinse it with tap water to remove all the salt (or chlorine if you are in a pool) and allow for the brace to air dry (do not put it in the dryer).

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

From Lisa at 4/3/2013 2:04 PM

Can this brace get wet/be worn in the water? Or are there other ankle support/braces that can be used in water? I'm looking for something to wear while walking in the sand at the beach.

Hello, Lisa -

Yes, this brace can be worn in the water. You just have to ensure that after use, you must wash the brace by hand (not in the machine) with luke warm water and mild soap. Also, make sure that you allow the item to AIR DRY (do not put in the dryer) to prevent the material from being compromised.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

From Neil at 4/3/2013 11:07 PM

Hi. I have a grade 2 arkillies tear . It is now getting better. I want to return to tennis. I was wondering if the A60 would support such an injury?
Thanks
Neil

Hello, Neil -

The A60 certainly is a supportive brace for your desired activity, however it is not designed to support the Achilles tendon. The most appropriate brace for you would be the AirCast AirHeel:

From Matt Arnold at 5/7/2013 9:21 AM

My daughter plays travel softball and just rolled her ankle, I am looking for a brace that will offer support but not limit her running speed. Which brace would you recommend.

The DonJoy Pro Stabilizing ankle. It is designed like an Athletic Trainer would tape an ankle for competition. Limited rolling on either side but allowing for Dorsal or Plantar flexion.

From Bob at 5/19/2013 12:48 PM

I had surgery for a torn Achilles about 16 weeks ago and have just completed physical therapy. I am 63 years old, an active golfer and looking for some support for my left ankle. I am a right handed golfer. Will the A60 provide support when shifting through the swing for the outside ankle.

Hello, Bob -

Yes the Aircast A60 will support the outside of your ankle during your golf swing. It is designed with medial and lateral rigid uprights to support your ankle during that motion.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

From Millie Rong at 6/1/2013 11:07 PM

I am a ballet dancer, I sprained my ankle a week ago. Now I am looking for a brace and support my any ankle when I walk or dance. You think Aircast A60 is better or Aircast Airsport is better?

Hello Millie,

I recommend the Airsport for walking, and athletics. It provides maximum support to the ankle. It may be restrictive for Ballet, depending on the level you are involved in.

I am a dancer, and I used to play volleyball and basketball. I run quite often and I've sprained both my ankles multiple time, I have had a few stress fractured and torn ligaments. I need an ankle brace that will be able to fit inside my jazz shoes and that will be flexible so that I can still point my toes and move comfortably during class. Would you recommend this brace?

Hello Miranda,

The a60 is your best choice, it's the most streamline brace we have that provides ankle support. It has a medial and lateral rigid support. Material is made of spandex, the portion that surrounds your foot.

Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.

From Bill at 9/24/2013 3:37 AM

I used to be quite active with backpacking, sprint tiathlons, cycling, etc. but a few years ago my lower lumbar was fused and I have problems with stability/balance on my right ankle due to lower back nerve trauma and muscle weakness in my leg. It has been impoving but after walking awhile the ankle becomes fatigued and less supportive. Would the Aircast A60 or another model of ankle support be of any value to give me more stability and extend my time walking?

Bill,
The A60 offers light to moderate support. It is an excellent brace for a little added support. If you are looking for something with moderate support I would recommend one of the DonJoy Stabilizing braces, and for simi-ridged support you may consider the AirCast Airsport ankle Brace. I hope this information helps you out. If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

From thetrystero at 9/25/2013 3:55 PM

I currently have the Airsport in Medium which I purchased due to a Level 2 sprain. I am a size 10 US shoe size but the medium feels a little loose. If I purchase the A60 in the Small, will it definitely be too small for me?

I lean towards saying yes that it would be too small as a small encompasses seizes 5-8.5.

From kathy speno at 11/2/2013 12:05 PM

I had a total reconstruction on my ankle a year ago and I have been dealing with trying to rehab it so that it is not painful to walk or do my job. I am a Personal Fitness Trainer and I have used a tie up brace as well. My job is very physical and demanding.
It has been getting somewhat better and I love to cycle. I have been told that I will need to fuse my ankle and I have bone on bone. I need something that will help in keeping me pain free. I tried the Don Joy Velocity brace and could not stand it. Very uncomfortable. Any suggestions??

Take a look at the donJoy Rocketsoc ankle brace on our website: http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-rocketsoc-ankle-support-1504. this brace is used for people who have chonic ankle aprains so it has a lot of support but more comfortable than the Velocity. It fits into your shoes and you can use it for both activities and non-activities

My daughter has suffered now 2 stress fractures of the navicuiar bone in her foot. The doctor recently has said it is due to her weak ankles. Her ankles often give out and interfered with her running form with her trying to compensate for them not giving out which is what they say has caused her fracture. She is a pole vaulter and we are looking for a brace that she can wear in her spikes to help with supporting her ankle that will fit and not be bulky . She already wears ankle braces for volleyball but they will not fit comfortable in her track spike. We are just needing something to hopefully give her ankle a little more support and help them both from giving out. She is also in pt right now to help strengthen them. Would this be a good one or would you suggest another?

Thank you for your question. The A60 will offer the most support of the braces we have that will fit in track spikes. If this option does not work she may want to have her ankles taped for practice and meets.

I have been suffering with tarsal tunnel syndrome for the last year. I recently have gone to sports medicine and I'm going through therapy. I am a runner and a waitress and I work extended hours on my feet. This injury is very painful and I'm looking for ankle and foot support while on my feet. I have it in both feet the right is worse than the left. Can you please recommend the right brace! So I can continue working and running without pain!

Diane
I would suggest the aircast Airlift PTTD brace for someone with tarsal tunnel. The brace will protect the ankle but also has a air bladder under the arch of the foot that can be inflated to take pressure off the tibial nerve witch runs under that part of the foot. The brace is a little bulkier than the Aircast A60 so you will need to open up your running shoes to get it in. http://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airlift-pttd-brace

Hi there,

Does the product come in pair or do i have to buy 2?

Thanks,
Raj

You would have to buy 2

How much will I get if I order them? Does it come in a pack of 2 or just one? Because I am a high school football player and my position is Full back and my ankle's roles way to much and its stopping me from being the best I can be. I really need 2 for both my ankles and if I want 2 will it sat around 50 dollars or around 100?

Jeremiah
The price is per brace so if you need two you will need to order two

My daughter is a competitive gymnast and has had multiple ankle and foot sprains. Her ankle is healed now, but is generally weak and prone to injury. She hates wearing tape and wants a brace. Is the Aircast A60 a good brace for her? I did not see any other questions related to gymnastics, specifically.

Jennifer
The A60 is a minimal supportive ankle brace but it is low profile and easy to put on. If you would like something with a little more support the Aircast Airsport is more supportive than the A60 but equally easy to put on and wear without a sock as a gymnast would do. http://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airsport-ankle-brace

I am50 lbs overweight started to walk briskly to help lose weight. My ankles are killing me after I walk will these help me A60?

Mary
The A60 ankle brace will provide mild support of the ankles when you walk. Sonce we do not know why your ankles are hurting after a walk, these braces may help because they will support tha ankles.

Hi - I just got a pair of Small A60's. I had broken my ankle in 3 places some years ago. My shoe size is mens 7-7.5 and the ankle diameter measurement is 12". When I put them on it is difficult to get the ball of my foot thru the sleeve and the band under my foot feels lumpy - should I have gotten a Med pair. I got them for running and tennis to keep from rolling my ankle. Since I was on the borderline between the 2 sizes I thought the smaller size would be less bulky. Thanks - k

Kena
Since the smaller size is too tight then you will need to go with the bigger size.

How do you wear the Air cast A60 ankle brace with full soccer gear on? I want the maximum amount of support, so should that be under my socks and against my skin? Will wearing it over my thick soccer socks interfere with my shin guards and not provide the same support since it is over the extra padding of my socks?

Thanks!

Nerissa
The brace should be worn on top of your socks and there should be plenty of room for your shin guard

I dislocated my ankle about 50 years ago and when they reset it they did not reset it correctly and my right foot is not parrelel to my leg bone. All my foot bones have fused together and when I walk my right ankle tools out to the right. Will this brace help me to stabilize my ankle from rolling out ?

I sprain my ankle a lot due to instability. It is always the anterior talofibular ligament that is sprained. It also usually stops hurting in a day or two. I usually exercise by running and would like a brace that does not have as much bulk. What brace would you recommend?

Jules
There are more ligaments that can be sprained with a lateral ankle sprain, the talofibular ligament is just the most common. I would suggest either the A60 or the Don Joy Stabilizing Pro. They both are low profile but the Stabilizing Pro will provide more protection than the A60. http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace

Is this brace good for everyday use(i.e.walking/standing for work, and using treadmill & bike at the gym)?
How long does this brace tend to last if worn everyday? Previous braces that I have used, off the shelf from pharmacy's, don't seem to last as long as I would like before they start to stretch out and not seem as effective.

Richard
The brace can be used for everyday use and it has a 6 month warranty
